					<description><![CDATA[Doc N the Box, 

Remember when you point the finger at someone 3 are pointing right back at you. Makes a lot of sense to me that BFD would give this out themselves to create internal sabotage. (Their computer and accounts with passwords). Why would you want to create more work for yourself when you have a cush 50K plus/year job as a fire/medic and have to transport all the time.... 

Also I&#039;m offended by your remarks about hiring thieves, planting illegal paraphernalia etc... Uncalled for and way out of line. Too bad a righteous person like yourself hides behind &#039;&#039;Doc N the Box&#039;&#039; with those acquisitions and won’t show yourself to the accused...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I f I was Chief Doan I would  be reevaluating the sanctity of his fire stations, at least the one that also house ACEMS, if Paramedics will resort to stealing information off a BFD computer, what stops them from stealing narcotics out of the drug lockers, or planting illegal paraphernalia around the fire stations. This situation has obviously struck a nerve with several members of ACEMS or maybe they just hire thieves]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Very true that this is not a major issue.  It just seems that Ada County and the Guardian complain about the fire departments sneaky tactics and back door dealings but, there is obviously the same issues on the other end.  Maybe time to look in the mirror.  Your all about transparency until your information gathering is questioned.  We still have yet to see any information from the fire department or city so at this point it looks like fact finding and information gathering that a bunch of yahoos have spun out of control.  

We can argue about semantics all you want ie &quot;we will purchase&quot; fact is if there is an ambulance purchase &quot;they will&quot; need a gurney.  Until all of the fire department says to the council this is what we want and need everyone should chill.  And you should report on legitimate news such as the breaking news of the fire in the foothills today.  Oh but everything went off without a hitch no conspiracy there Dogg.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The public records are only legal if obtained that way.  With all the talk of how strong and tight knit the union is I would doubt one of the BG&#039;s secret spies or &quot;source&quot; is a department employee.  More likely an ada county &quot;source&quot; doing some snooping.  Maybe the BG would be so kind as to share more info.

EDITOR NOTE--You sound like the issue is waterboarding or national security!  We don&#039;t share sources or e-mails champ.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, just curious, did this email from Mr Emerson come through the freedom of information act or did BG find a new racquet. . . .  &quot;hacking&quot; government computers?

EDITOR NOTE--No need to hack.  All e-mail sent to or from city employes is a public record.  The even includes the idle chit chat of the coppers, office workers, and mayor&#039;s staff.  We also have sources throughout government who wish to provide the &quot;transparency in government&quot; the politicos talk so much about.  Would you rather not know about it?  At least one citizen read the GUARDIAN and sat in on the sales meeting.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It does not surprise me that The Bieter Bunch is forging ahead with the EMS thingy. I am handicapped and cannot attend the meeting.  If I did II might say, after the Mayor Cole incident it seems like Boise was willing to accept anything.  Oooops we did.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I attended the meeting.  Ten of the power stretchers from Stryker would cost about 1/4 million.  I also talked to Randy, the Boise Fire EMS supervisor.  He said they are just &quot;studying&quot; their options, looking to improve EMS and that the RFP will not lead to a purchase.  I suggested that he go to the meeting tonight and face the angry mob.  At least he would get kudos for manning up and facing critics.]]></description>

Team Dave DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!  Boise City is just a microcosm of the US Congress.  Your voices fall on deaf ears.]]></description>
